This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.56
---------------
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.56) quantal; urgency=low
* UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: Add nvidia-* for automatic installation after
discussion with Chris. The proprietary driver is still the better choice
(if you click "proprietary 3rd party drivers" in Ubiquity) until Nouveau
enables power management.
* tests/ubuntu_drivers.py: Update test_auto_install_chroot() for above
change, as nvidia now does get installed automatically.
* Quirks/quirkapplier.py: Update to current xkit API: Call write(), not
writeFile(). (LP: #1014728)
* UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: Change system_modaliases() to return an alias →
sysfs_path map, instead of just a list of aliases.
* UbuntuDrivers/detect.py: Change system_driver_packages() to return a
package → info map, instead of just a list of packages. UI can use the
info to show which device requested a driver, whether it is free or
proprietary, and whether it is a distro or third-party package.
(LP: #1013665)
* Fix fd leaks from subprocess in the test suite.
* Add debian/tests/system and debian/tests/control: Add autopkg test to
check that we can detect, install, and remove the nvidia, fglrx, and bcmwl
drivers. Due to their nature of being compiled on the client side and
depend on matching kernel headers/API, they are inherently a bit brittle
and thus we should spot regressions immediately.
